lol..
naaaaaaaaa he's a good boy but getting on in years around mile 4 he started limping so we had to walk back but he's fine thank goodness or my father would knock me the fuck out.
I raced home from work to enjoy this 70 degree weather so nugget and I walked him for an hour. Sadly, this one house never has the german sheppard on a leash and the 3rd time in a week the dog has bolted across the street towards me and ben. I told the owner next time I'm calling animal control. Tonight it happend and scared nugget because I was gonna let ben loose (nugget comes first) but the owner got him in the middle of the street. Both dogs are over 120 pounds, that wouldn't of been good. Should I call animal control just so he gets a warning from them
Personally I would probably go talk to the owner and try to work it out w/o getting animal control involved. Things can end badly w/animal control.
Have you ever met/interacted positively with/petted that dog to see what it is like?
What if Ben and the German Shepherd "met" each other and Nugget met that dog as well in the presence of the owner? If that is not agreeable, what about you calling the owner to say you all will be coming down his street and to please put the dog in if it is out?
The other thing you could do is take another route...but I would try to meet the dog and the owner on good terms first. Do you think the dog is dangerous or just scary when he bolts out toward you? My dogs both can seem scary but they aren't.
Maybe the dog and you all could be friends and it could become a pleasant part of your route. Can't we all just get along?
